Bicycle Patrols

As part of the department's community policing objectives uniformed bicycle patrol officers are assigned to patrol the two weed and seed districts within the City. Thirty-five officers are assigned to the Bike Squad and each officer has been issued uniforms and a police mountain bike.

From late spring to early fall bike patrol officers patrol the Woodlawn and Pleasant View sections of the city. Bike patrol officers also make contacts with area businesses and enter businesses to speak with the clerk/owner to exchange information or concerns.
